The answer to the specific question (when asked) was,
Syracuse (1991), Arizona (1993), S. Carolina (1997) and Iowa St. (2001).
(16) seeds are winless since the NCAA started the current seeding system in 1985 (that makes their record 0-100 through the 2009 Basketball tournament).
(15) seeds have won 4 times in the first round (called the second round since the field was expanded to 68 teams in 2010) during that period.
1991
(2) Syracuse - 69
(15) Richmond - 73
1993
(2) Arizona - 61
(15) Santa Clara - 64
1997
(2) South Carolina - 65
(15) Coppin State - 78
2001
(2) Iowa State - 57
(15) Hampton - 58
None of those (15) seeds won in the following round.
-----------------------------------
This year, it happened twice!
2012
(2) Duke - 70
(15) Lehigh - 75
2012
(2) Missouri - 84
(15) Norfolk State - 86
So that makes 6 times it's happened since seeding began in 1985.
(1) seeds are now 112-0 against (16) seeds.
Answer compiled from historical brackets at http://www.bracketscience.com/history/
(and by consulting my own busted bracket sheets in 2012...
I had Duke vs MSU in the South+West Final Four game)
Yes, a #15 seed has defeated a #2 seed 7 times in NCAA men's basketball tournament history.
#15 Richmond beat #2 Syracuse 73-69 in 1991
#15 Santa Clara beat #2 Arizona 64-61 in 1993
#15 Coppin State beat #2 USC 78-65 in 1997

#15 Norfolk ST beat #2 Mizzou 86-84 in 2012
#15 Lehigh beat #2 Duke 75-70 in 2012
#15 Florida Gulf Coast beat #2 Georgetown 76-68
Except for Florida Gulf Coast which went to the Sweet 16, none of the #15 teams advanced beyond the next round
Richmond over Syracuse in 1991
Santa Clara over Arizona in 1993
Coppin State over South Carolina in 1997
Hampton over Iowa State in 2001
Norfolk State over Missouri in 2012
Lehigh over Duke in 2012
